Midwives and physiotherapists are also voting on strikes
Nurses across the country are to hold two days of strike action in December in an escalation of the pay row raging across the NHS. The Royal College of Nursing has announced its members will stage their first ever national walk out on December 15 and 20.
RCN General Secretary Pat Cullen said: “Ministers have had more than two weeks since we confirmed that our members felt such injustice that they would strike for the first time. The RCN said the economic argument for paying nursing staff fairly was clear when billions of pounds was being spent on agency staff to plug workforce gaps.
A ballot among hundreds of thousands of Unison members closes on Friday, and among Unite’s NHS members next week. Health and Social Care Secretary Steve Barclay said: “I am hugely grateful for the hard work and dedication of nurses and deeply regret some union members will be taking industrial action.
“Our priority is keeping patients safe. The NHS has tried and tested plans in place to minimise disruption and ensure emergency services continue to operate.”
